For my edification.  I build custom kernels, and sign them using
pesign with my own key that I generated locally, and put in the EFI key
database. I can then boot the custom kernel in secure mode.  Couldn't I
also sign modules if I ever generated them with that same key?

That is, isn't this only an issue if the person doing the kernel
development hasn't generated their own key, and isn't signing their
kernels locally?
